i mean your situation is pretty unique hondas are known to run forever and the fact that it was a family car helps alot all of my cars were bought used off someone i never met before so who knows how they drove it before i owned it or if they kept up on maintenance you just got lucky your family gave you a reliable first car my first car pontiac grand am lasted about a month before the tranny blew and it just wasnt worth fixing then i bought a honda and it lasted for a few years cars a just super hit or miss
